A nicely balanced counter-perspective. Thanks, @RichardWrites.

I'm in the middle of moving this week, so I'm hoping to get another chapter scheduled today between packing boxes and working my day job. Fingers crossed! You are all perfectly justified in your frustration with Killian! He needs a visit from Cher... Is Seth close enough?

Tad yanked his arm back suddenly, as if he'd been burned. The crowd came flooding back into focus as he hurried away. I started to call after him when I felt someone slip his arms around my waist from behind. I jerked my head back to find it was Micah. "Who was that?" Although his voice was falsely bright, his eyes staring after Tad were troubled and distant. "Was someone trying to pick you up? I knew I shouldn't have left you alone." I pulled away from Micah's embrace and turned to fa

The Detective Club is doing some excellent work already. And that's all I'll say...

Oh, there's a lot of unfinished business. That could have been the theme of this book...

He does, doesn't he? He used to be even worse. I've tried to tone it down some over the years, but it's just an innate part of him that he has to grow out of.

You know my mantra... all will be revealed...

Wow! That was about the only coherent thought I could muster for a while, following what had turned out to be the most amazing experience of my life. Of course, I wasn't particularly trying to be coherent. I was simply basking in the afterglow. "Wow!" I thought again, except I must have said it out loud the second time. Micah chuckled. "I wish you'd stay that easy to impress," he said. My head was resting in the hollow between his shoulder and his neck, his arms wrapped aroun

The following week was uneventful, and felt all the longer for my anticipation for our trip to D.C. Mr. Knox drove to and from work without deviating from his usual schedule, Jake drove back and forth to school, my classes were boring for the most part, and I spent the rest of my time catching up on paperwork at the office. Novak managed to book us a room in the same hotel where Knox was staying, which was not easy considering it was also hosting the conference. Mrs. Knox was paying dearly

I like to think so as well!

During the drive to school, I thought about Steve and the B&B. I knew he'd sunk a small fortune into buying and restoring the old house — a fortune he had partly inherited and partly saved from his successful business. Except for a small safety net he'd invested, nearly all his money had gone into the project. Not to mention the time involved. He was spending a lot of time at the B&B, and I wondered if Adam missed his partner. It had to be hard living in two different places. Whenev

Very true. He's maybe taken on a bit too much? (I wouldn't know how that feels at all....)
-
Yes, he does... Killian is slowly learning balance, but I think that's hard for many of us.
-
To be fair, when isn't Judy at least a little strange?
-
We all have secrets, don't we?

Happy to have you along for the ride!

Oh it will be broughten...

Oh wow! Surprising to see Bleeding Hearts back on the charts!

When I woke up the next morning, I was still uncomfortable with the idea of investigating Jake. I'd slept fitfully, perhaps because my conscience wouldn't allow me a peaceful night's rest. I tumbled out of bed and sleepwalked through my morning routine of shower, dressing, and a quick breakfast. Arriving at the Knox's house a little early, I parked across the street and a couple of doors past his house, then slumped down behind the wheel of my car to wait for him to leave. I was having

Only time — and about 32 chapters — will tell...

Micah didn't pick up when I called, so I left a message saying I was ready to talk. I thought about being somewhat more forthcoming, but then decided that news of the sort I had to share would be better delivered in person. I hadn't heard from Micah by the time I went to bed. The next morning, I'd tailed Mr. Knox, the allegedly unfaithful husband, to his job, checked in with my buddy at the receptionist desk, and finally went to the office to finish a little paperwork before my first c

That's so real, and absolutely fair. I would be the same way. In fact, I wrote the damn things, and I'm like that sometimes...
